In order to win the recognition and support of the Ming Dynasty, Huang Yi not only delayed proclaiming himself king, but even kept a low profile and did not proclaim himself king.
The new ideas of the new era are completely different from those of the ancients. The country belongs to the entire Chinese people, mainly the Han nation, not to the old Zhu family.
It is possible to be loyal to the country and the nation, but it is impossible to be loyal to the family and the surname.
Accepting an official position in the Ming Dynasty was just to gain a foothold, and there was no possibility of loyalty to the Zhu Ming Dynasty.
Moreover, the Ming Dynasty has reached its end. No matter how hard-working the Emperor Chongzhen, who is limited in ability but willful and self-willed, will soon subdue the country and the Han people.
From then on, the land of China was destroyed, China's clothes and clothes were ruined, and the entire Han nation was going to live in humiliation and idiocy with a pigtail for more than two hundred years.
Huang Yi is here, accepting his fate, but not accepting his fate! He wants to change history and eliminate the misfortune of the Han nation!
There is no way to make shortcuts, there is no way to compromise, and negotiations can never lead to peace. The only way is to completely eliminate the enemy.
Strengthening oneself is the only option. Only by building a firearms force with arms and fingers can we turn the tide.
The top priority now is to expand and train the army. Then expand the army and train the troops again. There is no other way.
Even in the twelfth lunar month of winter, artillery training was still in progress. By the end of February in the fourth year of Chongzhen, four three-pound regiment cannons had been scrapped.
The current artillery team has one hundred and sixty gunners who can skillfully operate three-pound cannons. Two people can control one to complete the firing.
Of course, this is a ready-made thing. With sufficient preparation, two gunners can clear the barrel, load gunpowder, fill shells, aim, and ignite...
During actual combat, a lot of auxiliary troops are needed to deploy artillery transportation and prepare enough gunpowder bags, shotgun bags, etc.
Auxiliary soldiers who do chores are easier to train than gunners who can aim and fire.
Therefore, one hundred and sixty gunners practice every day. When there are insufficient artillery, the gunner who is most accurate in firing will watch and fire.
Most of the remaining gunners had to do auxiliary work.
The artillerymen in the base area can not only drive carts and ride horses, but also must be able to gallop on horseback.
It is not enough to be able to drive a car, you must also be able to repair a car, and be able to disassemble and assemble artillery.
In the past half month, artillery training has been mainly focused on transport. It is often seen that an artillery team of 160 people is galloping with eight guns.
The most basic requirement is that artillery must have the ability to move 160 miles a day.
This kind of training not only tested the mobility of the artillery, but also proved the practicality of the four-wheeled artillery vehicle that has undergone a technological revolution.
Huang Yi knew the importance of artillery best, so apart from a few sets of limited-production bearings and steel wheels used in the development of luxury passenger four-wheel carriages, the rest were all used on artillery carriages.
There were no rubber tires, not because there was no record of rubber production in Huang Yi’s mobile phone, but because there were no raw materials. There were no rubber trees in Daming at this time.
Huang Yi's mobile phone also has information about the raw material processing and production methods of Eucommia rubber. Unfortunately, there are no Eucommia trees in the base area, including the entire Yanshan and Yinshan areas.
There are a large number of Eucommia trees in Shaanxi, growing on the southern slopes of the Qinling Mountains in southern Shaanxi.
At the beginning of spring, people had to be sent to follow the Li family caravan to purchase leaves, bark, and branches of Eucommia trees, steam them into thick tapes, and return them to the base for further processing.
Shaanxi was in dire straits at the end of the Ming Dynasty. If 10,000, 20,000 or more people could survive by collecting the fruits, leaves, and bark of Eucommia trees to make crude glue, they should be considered as saving so many people.
Huang Yi knew that the gum production rate of Eucommia trees was definitely far lower than that of rubber trees, but there was nothing he could do.
Today's wild rubber trees are in the jungles of South America. For a long time, Huang Yi was unable to obtain seeds and saplings.
It is useless to get trees or seeds because there is no suitable land. Rubber trees need tropical or subtropical climate to grow.
Therefore, Huang Yi is destined to use the very expensive Eucommia rubber, which is better than nothing.
In the absence of rubber for wheel tires, the current cannon cart wheels are covered with a layer of cork that has been soaked in tung oil for a full month, and the outside is wrapped with layers of cowhide.

This kind of steel hub cork solid tire wheel is half lighter than an all-wood wheel, is not easily damaged, and has a service life of at least five times longer.
Another benefit is that it can bear more than three times the weight.
A total of 200 teenagers with over 500 literacy were selected to participate in the training. They had sex every day, regardless of cost. Forty people were eliminated due to various reasons.
Twenty-six of the teenagers were injured due to accidents during training.
Accidents not only result in an explosion, but also injuries caused by falling from a running horse or sports car.
As the saying goes, it takes a hundred days to break your muscles and bones, so of course you won't be able to return to the team to participate in training in a short period of time.
Exploding the barrel does not mean that the barrel will be blown to pieces every time. It must be that the wrong amount is loaded, and several times the amount.
This kind of situation is simply impossible to happen among the soldiers in the well-disciplined base area.
The custom-made gunpowder bags are all marked, and the novices' operations are closely watched by the training officers, governors, and seniors.
There will be no opportunity for newcomers to make the stupid mistake of loading two or more rations of gunpowder.
As long as you are careful when testing the gun, even if the barrel explodes, it is unlikely to cause huge damage.
Moreover, the cannons at this time were fired by twisting the ignition powder. When testing a new cannon with no experience, the ration of gunpowder should be increased by 20%, and the gunpowder twist should be left longer.
After igniting the gun, climb over the blast-proof wall built with sandbags and lie down. Even if the artillery explodes, the gunner will not be hurt.
During the normal operating life of a new gun that has passed the pressurization inspection, even if the barrel explodes, it will only explode and leak air, and will not kill the gunner.
After the artillery fire has exceeded the lifespan of being scrapped, if you continue to test the gun to obtain the final effective life, you must set up the explosion-proof wall as you did at the beginning of the gun test.
Every time a gun is fired, preparations must be made for the chamber to explode at any time. Anyone else should stay away. After the gunner completes the fire, he must cross the explosion-proof wall and lie down.
All in all, these young people who have suffered a lot can withstand beatings and are very tolerant. The elimination rate of only 20% is acceptable.
The ideological education of soldiers in the base areas cannot be relaxed for a moment!
Huang Yi is already instilling a concept, enhancing everyone's belief and clearly pointing out the development direction of the base area.
That is, the New Army in the base area fought to rescue the oppressed and enslaved Han people.
It was a fight to overthrow the slave-owners among the Tatars and the Tatars, and to liberate the slaves.
It is to create an equal society, not to be bullied, for people to live and work in peace and contentment, and to eliminate hunger...
Huang Yi summoned the town governors for meetings and studies every half month.
In the Ming Dynasty, there were only two town governors for every thousand-household office. Generally speaking, they were from the sixth-grade military position. If there was a vacancy for a hundred-household official, the town governor could fill the post.
Most of the guards' officers are hereditary, but the town governors are not hereditary. They are responsible for handling judicial proceedings within the guards and handling disputes between the military and civilians.
